Abstract: As codified in 25 U.S.C. 

4001 et seq., The American Indian Trust 

Fund Management Reform Act of 1994 

(the Reform Act) makes provisions for 

the Bureau of Trust Funds 

Administration (formerly known as the 

Office of the Special Trustee for 

American Indians) to administer trust 

fund accounts for individuals and 

Tribes. This collection of information is 

required to fulfill the mission of the 

Bureau of Trust Funds Administration 

(BTFA) and the Secretary of the 

Interior’s responsibility for evaluating 

all Public Law 93–638 Compact Tribes 

administering or managing trust 

programs, functions, services, and/or 

activities on behalf of the Secretary of 

the Interior. This responsibility is 

federally mandated pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 458cc(d) and 25 CFR 1000.350. 

BTFA is responsible under 25 U.S.C. 

4041 for overseeing the implementation 

of trust reforms, trust accounting, and 

coordination of trust policies intrabureau-wide related to the management 

of Indian trust funds and assets. The 

BTFA, Division of Trust Evaluation and 

Review (DTER), formerly the Office of 

Trust Audit and Review (OTRA), is 

responsible for performing tribal trust 

evaluations and trust records 

assessments for Tribes performing 

Indian trust programs and functions. In 

addition, DTER has a congressional 

mandate to conduct Annual Tribal Trust 

Evaluations for Tribes that compact 

trust programs, functions, services, and/ 

or activities under Public Law 93–638 

Self-Governance Compacts on behalf of 

the Secretary of the Interior. This 

authority is contained in 25 U.S.C. 

5363(d)(1) & (2) and the enabling 

regulations in 25 CFR 1000.350. DTER 

currently collects Indian trust data and 

documentation from Tribes in 

fulfillment of performing Tribal trust 

evaluations for compacted Tribes. These 

evaluations are enabled by performing 

desk reviews (via email electronic 

questionnaires), and on-site visits to 

Tribes and federal agencies for the trust 

records assessments (although federal 

agencies are exempt from the provisions 

of the PRA). 

Under 25 CFR 1000.355, the 

Secretary’s designated representative 

will conduct trust evaluations for each 

self-governance Tribe that has an annual 

funding agreement. The end result is the 

issuance of a report, which is required 

by 25 CFR 1000.365. Currently, DTER 

conducts either desk reviews and/or onsite reviews (pre- and post-COVID–19 

pandemic) of trust operations where a 

Tribe has compacted a trust program. 

During that review, under current 

methodology, interviews are conducted 

and documents are requested. A draft 

report is written and provided to the 

Tribe for comment where applicable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains and associated 

funerary objects under the control of the 

U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau 

of Land Management, Alaska State 

Office, Anchorage, AK. The human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed from Unalaska Island and 

Amaknak Island in the Eastern Aleutian 

Islands, AK. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in 

this notice are the sole responsibility of 

the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the BLM with the 

help of the University of Alaska 

Museum of the North professional staff 

in consultation with representatives of 

the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1948, human remains representing 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from the Chernofski site on 

Unalaska Island, Eastern Aleutian 

Islands, AK. The work was done as part 

of the Harvard Peabody Museum’s 

Aleutian Expedition of 1948, led by 

Harvard University graduate student 

William S. Laughlin. The Harvard 

Peabody Museum felt it had 

authorization for the work under a 

contract to partially fund the 1948 

Expedition, but it obtained an 

Antiquities Act Permit for work during 

a second season in 1949, due to 

uncertainty about the authorization for 

the 1948 work. The human remains of 

the one individual removed in 1948 

were accessioned by the Harvard 

Peabody Museum, where they remained 

until 2017, when they were transferred 

to the Bureau of Land Management in 

Alaska and placed in their current 

location at the University of Alaska 

Museum of the North. The human 

remains consist of a single mandible 

from an adult of unknown sex. No 

known individual was identified. The 

one associated funerary object is the 

fragment of a ground stone lamp. 

The site is more than 200 years old; 

its actual age unknown. The stone lamp 

fragment is consistent with items found 

in other archeological sites more than 

200 years old in the Eastern Aleutian 

Islands. Based on genetic studies as well 

as a continuity in artifact styles, 

scientists view the current aboriginal 

Unangan population of the Eastern 

Aleutian Islands as direct descendants 

of the people who first came to the 

region 9,000 or more years ago and were 

never replaced by any other people. 

This view is consistent with oral 

traditional information provided by 

today’s Unangan people. 

In 1950, human remains representing 

at minimum, five individuals were 

removed from the Eider Point Site on 

Unalaska Island, Eastern Aleutian 

Islands, AK. That same year, human 

remains representing one individual 

were removed from the Amaknak Burial 

Site on Amaknak Island, near Unalaska 

Island. Both removals were carried out 

by Ted P. Bank II, of the University of 

Michigan, under a Federal permit. 

Initially, the human remains were 

placed at the University of Michigan. 

Around the late 1990s, these six sets of 

human remains were moved to the 

Museum of the Aleutians, Unalaska, 

Alaska. Until 2018, the human remains 

were believed to be under the control of 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(FWS). Accordingly, FWS moved the 

remains from the Museum of the
